The Spirit II E-210 is a two-burner GS4 cart (2017+). Ignition is still two AAs and a collector, but the kit is 67135, not the original-Spirit 7642 used on front-control E-210/E-310. Wire lengths and the electrode bracket on the left GS4 tube do not match a 2013–2016 Spirit collector.
Confirm “Spirit II” on the fascia and the year on the rating plate. Original Spirit E-210: Spirit E-210 igniter. Three-burner II: Spirit II E-310 igniter.
What you should see
- Lid open, knobs off: a snap at the left electrode.
- Left knob to start; the right tube should carry across a 10-1/2” crossover, not the 15-1/4” 310 crossover.
- Click, no snap: lead, ceramic, or flooded collector.
- Snap, no gas: regulator reset.
Procedure
- Tank off. Remove the two cooking grates and the three 15.3” flavorizer bars.
- Photograph the electrode gap, the collector posts, and the wire path through the cook box.
- Pull the spade from the collector. Do not yank the wire through a rusted hole.
- Unclip the ceramic from the left GS4 tube. Vacuum shards. The II left burner has a factory electrode tab — that is the target, not a random port.
- Install the 67135-class electrode. Gap about a nickel. Seat the 10-1/2” crossover so both tubes share flame.
- Fresh AAs in the well (usually under the left table). Polarity is stamped. Corroded springs: dry brush, not oil.
- Lid open. Snap test. Left knob start, then open the right. If the left lights and the right does not, the crossover is missing or rusted — not a second electrode.
- If the button is silent with new AAs, replace the module that came with the 67135 kit. Original Spirit 7642 modules have different harness lengths.
FAQ
Does a Weber Spirit II E-210 use igniter 7642?
No. Front-control original Spirit 210/310 uses 7642. Spirit II 210 (2017+) uses the 67135 kit (module, button, electrode/collector). Mixing them leaves a short or long lead and a collector that does not clip the GS4 tube.
Why does only the left burner light on a Spirit II E-210?
The II 210 has one electrode. The right burner should carry across a 10-1/2” crossover. Replace the crossover, not a second ceramic, unless you actually see two factory electrodes.
